683 Seeking Marriage
“How dare you bully a female? You really have to be taught a lesson.” Ah Gui immediately got the shop owners behind him to capture the two beasts. “Bring them back to the temple and sentence them to death for bullying the high priest!”
When the shop owners who came to join in the fun heard this, they immediately looked surprised.
They stared at Lin Huanhuan in unison, their curious gazes seemingly penetrating the snow silk veil.
This was the new high priest who had replaced Lady Xue Hui!
She looked short and small. They wondered what her face looked like.
Huanhuan didn’t seem to notice the gazes around her and said calmly, “Just hand them over to Jiu Yuan.”
Jiu Yuan was the commander of the guards in charge of managing Rock City. Anything involving quarrels and fights in the city was handed over to him to handle.
Ah Gui disagreed. “Since they dare to bully you, they have to be severely punished. They can’t be tolerated.”
Huanhuan laughed ambiguously. “Speaking of bullying, I think they’re not as outrageous as the Divine Wood clan.”
“What do you mean?”
“You and I know very well who spread the news that the high priest is going to be replaced.”
Ah Gui frowned. “I had nothing to do with this. You’ve misunderstood me.”
“I hope this is really just a misunderstanding.”
Huanhuan had no intention of listening to Ah Gui’s explanation.
She touched Eggy on her shoulder. This place was no longer suitable for waiting. She turned to the shop owner behind her and said, “If a tall male beast in a black robe comes looking for me later, please tell him that I’ve already gone home. Have him go straight home.”
The shop owner had a good impression of the soft-spoken female. Now that he knew that she was the new high priest, he was even more in awe.
He quickly nodded. “Okay, okay. I’ll definitely help pass the message.”
“Thank you!”
Huanhuan was about to take Eggy home when Ah Gui reached out to stop her. His fingers accidentally tugged on her veiled hat and lifted a corner of the snow silk veil, revealing half of her face.
When Ah Gui and the male beasts behind him saw this, they were immediately stunned on the spot. Their eyes were filled with uncontrollable amazement.
Especially Ah Gui. His gaze happened to meet Huanhuan’s eyes.
At that moment, his soul seemed to have been hit hard. His mind went blank, and his heart beat wildly.
He couldn’t even stop thinking about it.
If he could look at her face forever, he would even be willing to prostrate on the ground and become her most loyal servant!
The snow silk veil had fallen back in place, and Huanhuan’s face was hidden again.
Without looking at Ah Gui, she turned and left with Eggy.
When Ah Gui saw that she was about to leave, he strode after her uncontrollably and grabbed her wrist. “Wait!”
Huanhuan had no choice but to stop and look back at him. She frowned unhappily. “Let go of me.”
Ah Gui felt the delicate and smooth wrist in his palm. He had the crazy urge to crush her and rub her into his body.
It took a lot of effort for him to suppress the urge.
Ah Gui reluctantly released his fingers. “I have something to talk to you about.”
“What is it?”
“Can we find a place to talk in private?”
Huanhuan refused without hesitation. “Tell me what you want to say now. If you’re unwilling to say it, then don’t bother bringing it up again.”
Ah Gui was helpless. “This matter is special. It’s not convenient to talk about it here.”
“Forget it, then.” Huanhuan walked away.
“Don’t go yet. I’ll tell you!” Ah Gui stopped her again.
The two of them stood facing each other, only a meter apart. Huanhuan was acutely aware that something was wrong with the other party’s gaze. He did not look like he was facing an acquaintance. Instead, he looked like he was staring at a delicious piece of fresh meat.
Huanhuan instinctively felt that something was wrong.
She subconsciously touched the green crystal bracelet on her wrist and said cautiously, “What do you want to say?”
He stared at her steadily for a long time.
The atmosphere became stranger.
Just as Huanhuan’s nerves were tense to the extreme, she saw Ah Gui suddenly kneel on one knee!
“I want to ask you to marry me! I hope you can be my mate!”
Huanhuan: “…”
‘Huh?!’
Did she hear wrongly? Did he just say he wanted to marry her?!
When the surrounding beasts heard this, they cheered loudly for Huanhuan to agree to Ah Gui’s marriage proposal.
Ah Gui stared intently at Huanhuan and said word by word, “I know I’m still slightly inferior to your other four mates, but I’m still young. I’m willing to do my best to increase my strength to protect you! As long as you’re willing to accept me, I’ll give you all the assets I’ve painstakingly earned over the years.”
Everyone gasped.
Everyone present knew very well how capable Ah Gui was at making money. If she could obtain all his assets, it would be equivalent to obtaining a huge sum of wealth!
Everyone was so jealous that they wished they could give birth to a daughter and marry her off to Ah Gui instead.
Huanhuan was in no mood to pay attention to these things.
She saw Yun Hui in the crowd.
She didn’t know how long Yun Hui had been standing there or what he thought after hearing what Ah Gui said.
She only knew that his eyes looked very dark now.
She felt guilty for no reason.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Ah Gui thought she was still considering it, so he took the initiative to say, “I know this request of mine is very sudden. You might not be able to accept it at once, but it doesn’t matter. I’m willing to give you time to consider it.”
Huanhuan came back to her senses. “No, I have four mates. That’s enough. I won’t consider a new mate.”
Huge disappointment engulfed him.
But he was still unwilling to give up.
“I beg you not to reject me so quickly. Think about it carefully. Even if you can’t accept my proposal, you can make me your follower.”
Huanhuan still shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept it.”
Ah Gui’s voice trembled. “Are you really that heartless?”
He originally did not have any deep feelings for Huanhuan, but the glimpse just now was like a curse that firmly attached his soul to Huanhuan. He now yearned to have her as if he had gone crazy.
“I have no romantic feelings for you. I can only refuse your offer.”
Huanhuan pretended not to see Ah Gui’s resentful gaze and strode away with Eggy. Coincidentally, she saw that Yun Hui had also turned around and left.
Without thinking, she hurried after him.
“Little Black, wait for me!”
Yun Hui didn’t turn around, but he slowed down a little.
Huanhuan quickly chased after him. She carefully observed Yun Hui’s expression and saw that he didn’t look too good.
“Are you angry?”
Yun Hui said stiffly, “Yes.”
He admitted it without hesitation.
Huanhuan had a headache. “I have nothing to do with Ah Gui. Don’t misunderstand.”
Ah Gui watched Huanhuan and Yun Hui leave, his expression extremely dark.
